This lotion is lightly moisturizing. It absorbs quickly without a greasy residue. It reduces breakout and KP on me. It smooths the surface very well. It smells a bit strange, but the smell fades, and I prefer that to a fragranced product.I have not found any other well-formulated BHA body products at anything near this low price.

I bought this product because of the red bumps I have on my upper arms. I'm really impressed with the results I have experienced. I have been using it almost every night for just over a week and there are hardly any bumps on my arms anymore. Will definitely repurchase!

I used this on the back of my arms where I have KP. I had previously used another brand that improved it a lot, but the review on Beautypedia said the product could be better due to its pH levels. So I figured this PC product would work even better. Unfortunately this irritated my KP and made it even more obvious than it was before. I gave it a month but I had to switch back to the other brand to get it back under control. Disappointed that it not only didn't improve the KP but made it worse.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'm a student and I'm on a budget almost all the time when it comes to makeup and cosmetics. I do know a thing or two about cosmetic ingredients and when I studied the list of ingredients on this treatment, I thought to myself it is good enough to be used on my face. And I was quite right. It is a very light and very emollient little lotion that smells surprisingly well to me, especially considering the fact there are no fragrances in it. Ingredient list regarding emollients, antioxidants and soothing ingredients isn't inferior to PC face exfoliants by any means, so if you're on a budget, I would strongly recommend you to buy this and you can use it either on your body or your face. Don't believe claims like "it's designed for your body", if the ingredients are spot on and if it suits your skin there is no reason not to use it on your face. Such claims are made only to trick you into spending more money for smaller sized products and buying more products overall. This is a nice mild exfoliant, with antioxidant, anti-irritant and soothing properties, I use it at night and it does soften my skin quite a bit. There is also no need to put another moisturiser over it, my skin is combination and it suits it very well. I use 2% BHA gel previously and it made my skin a bit dry so this is actually an upgrade. Since you're getting 7 oz. for less than 30 bucks, I think it is a massive bargain. I'm probably gonna be able to use it as a face exfoliant year-round and won't use it up for quite some time. So buy it and try it on your face, I bet you won't regret it! ;-)

I am a red head with sensitive, fair, dry, freckled skin. Because of this, I have always been cautious of sun damage. Unfortunately, despite the dry skin, I also have acne on my upper arms and back. For years I have used the Neutrogena body wash with salicylic acid. This was drying and caused me to use a heavy body lotion after. Sometimes worked well, but most of the time I was just chasing one problem after the other. This product seems to have fixed that. Have been using it for 3 months with amazing results. No dry skin, no bumps! Score! Thank you PC for being dedicated and persistent. My only wish is that it would be offered in a larger size, with a pump.

I've already bought and used up two bottles of this stuff, it just works so well for me. And now, before buying the 3rd bottle, I had to finally write a review. I've had acne on my back ever since I started puberty and no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of it. But since I use this stuff regularly my back is completely CLEAN and smooth and I finally don't have to cover it up all the time. There still are some tiny scars but the longer I use the treatment, the more they disappear. Love it!

This has become an essential product for me. I'm prone to back acne, a condition made severely worse by riding my bike as my main mode of transportation. After a week of daily use I saw significant reduction in bacne which was all about again except for pih marks after 3 weeks. Now for maintenance I just use this every other day and my back has been clear. It's also great for preventing acne on my face and giving me smooth skin all over my body.

This stuff truly is amazing. I've suffered from chest and back acne since I was a teenager and have tried everything under the sun. I used to use bha toners plus benzoyl peroxide which made my chest skins rough, dry, patchy, and red. Then I discovered this product. I use twice a day on my chest and on my back as needed and it has worked wonders! And my skin is soft and smooth. I highly recommend!

I did not expect this body treatment to start working so quickly. I noticed my Keratosis Pilaris along my arms has significantly been reduced, along with any body acne scaring. My skin feels incredibly smooth and just an overall improvement in my skin. I used to be extremely overweight, so my thighs would rub together which left marks. Since losing a significant amount of weight I have tried many treatments, but this has truly been the best. I am just extremely happy with this product overall.

I had basically given up trying to clear my chest from KP and exfoliating my skin without using harsh beads or sugar scrubs. Nothing seemed to work and only made my skin worse. This product is literally just what I needed - it's so nice to put on my skin after showering and seeing the KP disappear day after day, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the softness of my skin all over. I'm so happy I've found this product, and I really love that it's affordable too!

Not only do I have keratosis pilaris, I also have very sensitive skin. My dermatologist recommended salicylic acid (BHA) and this lotion did the trick. TheIn less than a week the bumps were significantly smaller and scarce . Thank you PC staff.

It used to be so hard to find a BHA product for my body! Very, very happy that I found Paula's Choice and that there is a selection of body exfoliants that can be used on a daily basis to provide both moisture and antioxidants. I use this every morning after I shower on my upper arms, chest, and back. I like that it dries fast and feels weightless on the body. Just an all around great product that helps keep my body acne/blemishes under control.

I was previously using the Olay Renewal Cream with BHA. After using the Resist Weightless Body Treatment for the past two nights, I can see a major difference! This product makes my skin look and feel much smoother in the morning - it has already eliminated some milia and blackheads. My skin also looks less red when I wake up and I'm looking forward to seeing more results. Very glad this product is cheaper than the other BHA products because otherwise I would not have tried ordering to Canada.

Since the 2% BHA treatment worked so nicely on my face, I was really hoping this would work for the rest of my body. I used this every other day for a few months and there was unfortunately little improvement. It didn't reduce the small red bumps / chicken skin on my legs or on my arms, though it did make my skin pretty soft. Would not purchase again.

For years i have struggled with cystic acne on my legs due to inflammation which is constantly being aggravated by shaving. A small amount of this product used once a week is the ONLY thing that keeps the bumps away!!! I am so grateful to have found it and will continue to use it as long as PC sells it! Thank you for yet another amazing product PC!!!

After almost 2 months of regular use there has been no improvement in my skin's texture. I used it on areas with KP and without. If anything it has made my skin bumpier. I'm so disappointed as I really thought this would work! Love PC products but not this one!

I used it for 2 months with body lotion 10% AHA and retinol skin smoothing body treatment, but I am so sad because It didn't work well. My KP is still existed, and it didn't work for removing bumps and redness. I don't know that my using time was so short to solve my skin problem or not because my KP is so serious. So I just considering ... I have to use it more or not.

I've tried pretty much everything for my pilaris keratosis and never had great results.I've been using this cream for about 3 weeks. I noticed an improvement immediately. Then I noticed a period of worsening and increased redness. It's dry and cold where I am, so I thought I might need some more moisture. So I started applying a very emollient moisterizer after this treatment. The two combined have cleared my KP up remarkably. I can't remember the last time my skin looked this good!

I adore this product. I mainly use it for my face as this is the most compatible with my skin texture of all BHAs here. It erases my little red pimples from rosacea, calm down redness and imparts luminosity to my skin due to exfoliation. I love how gentle this is and I am not afraid to use it every day. I also love it for the whole body but only occasionally.

I, too, was skeptical, as nothing has ever helped my KP on the backs of my arms, but as I'm getting married in 6 months, I'd thought I would try it. After 4 days, I have seen a HUGE difference. It's not completely gone, but it is noticeably better and I'm hopeful it will be completely gone soon. I have been applying it twice a day.

Skeptical as I was, I purchased this pricey lotion. I used it for one week straight, and repeatedly kept running my hands down the back of my arms, not sure if it was working or not. What sealed my 5 star rating was my husband commenting "The backs of your arms are smooth! That lotion must be working." Three weeks in, and I have nearly flawless arms. While I understand this is not a permanent fix, I am now a lifetime subscriber. Never discontinue this product! I would cry.

What makes this product unique?Resist Weightless Body Treatment is truly a one-of-a-kind product! This anti-aging body lotion contains an effective amount of salicylic acid (BHA) formulated at a pH range (3.5-3.9) that allows the BHA to have superior exfoliating properties. As a result, it works to soften rough, bumpy areas, ease dryness, help clear breakouts from the neck down, stimulate collagen production and banish dullness for improved skin tone. This silky, lightweight moisturizer sets to a soft matte finish and is packed with proven antioxidants and potent anti-irritants to keep skin youthful and healthy. This specialized body product will reveal younger-looking skin with a renewed firmness, refined texture and fewer discolorations from sun damage.

Who is this product for?Resist Weightless Body Treatment is great for anyone who is prone to breakouts or struggling with signs of aging anywhere on their body. It is also extremely effective at relieving red bumps and rough areas on the body (keratosis pilaris). This silky body lotion also works to improve skin tone and texture, both of which contribute to a more youthful look.

NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Sources to support the claims made for Resist Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA

DIRECTIONS: Apply a small amount to clean skin. May be used daily for all-over smoothing, or applied as a spot treatment where needed. Apply this treatment first when using with an additional moisturizer. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater.

When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. You do not need to use both, but some people like alternating. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:

AHAs are preferred for sun-damaged and dry skin because they exfoliate on the surface of skin and have the added benefit of also improving moisture content.

BHA is preferred for oily, acne-prone skin and for treating blackheads and white bumps because BHA can get through the oil that's clogging your pores, normalizing the lining of the misshapen pore that contributes to acne.

BHA has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. Those are two more reasons to use a BHA exfoliant if you have acne or sensitive, reddened skin.

Both AHA and BHA work to fight keratosis pilaris ("chicken skin") but BHA has the advantage due to its ability to penetrate the pore lining where these raised, red bumps begin.

If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.

The primary difference is with the base formula. The lotion base of Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA is silky and lightweight yet hydrating, and it contains several anti-aging ingredients to help skin from the neck down look and act younger. Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, Gel, and 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Lotion contains the same percentage of salicylic acid, but in different bases designed to work with other facial-care products.

There is no reason not to try and see if this works for you and you can always ask the physician who gave you the prescription their opinion. Renova and Retin-A have a completely different benefit for skin than BHA does but both are excellent for anti-aging skincare. BHA exfoliates built up dead skin cells on the surface of skin and in the pore, while the active ingredient in Retin-A and Renova is a cell communicating ingredient that improves the way skin cells are made in the lower layers of skin.
